Chapter 475 475: Help!
In the endless desert, Namikaze Minato led his three students as they walked swiftly.
During a break, Uchiha Yōmomo complained, "We've been walking in the desert for two days. When will we encounter the enemy?"
Hearing Yōmomo's complaint, Namikaze Minato said nothing.
Uchiha Yōmomo was the most talented of his age group in the Uchiha clan. As long as he didn't die early on the battlefield, his strength wouldn't be lacking.
Nohara Rin comforted Uchiha Yōmomo, "Sensei has been determining our direction the whole time. We're not lost. Don't worry, Yōmomo."
Uchiha Yōmomo thought to himself, How can I not be anxious? The clan's ninja have all gone to the Land of Hot Water to fight the Kumo-nin. I need to accomplish a few impressive missions too.
He glanced sideways at Kakashi. On Sensei Minato's recommendation, Kakashi had already become a Jōnin.
In the original story, after the White Fang's suicide, Kakashi couldn't voice it, but he was ashamed of his father, constantly struggling over whether his father or the village was wrong.
Therefore, Kakashi didn't properly care for the White Fang Chakra Blade nor diligently study the White Fang sword techniques.
In this life, Konoha's White Fang sacrificed himself as a hero. When Kakashi thought of his father, his heart was filled with pride. He studied the White Fang sword techniques day and night, emulating his father, and his strength grew rapidly.
His chakra condensation was already very proficient, just one step away from mastering chakra crystallization.
Kakashi's Taijutsu and sword techniques were extremely fast, making him more than qualified as a Jōnin.
Namikaze Minato smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, Yōmomo. I'll gather intelligence now.
You three, guard the perimeter around me. I cannot be disturbed while gathering intelligence."
Kakashi and the other two fanned out, keeping watch over the monotonous desert landscape.
After forming seals, Namikaze Minato's consciousness appeared on the altar of the Divine Hall.
Soon, blood silhouettes of 'Fire' and 'Pestilence' appeared.
'Fire', Pakura, said, "The Daimyō of the Land of Wind issued an S-rank mission. Many nobles have died in the Land of Wind recently. The Daimyō demands Sunagakure capture the culprit quickly."
"Capture the culprit? That means capturing me, right?" Hidan said:
"Every time I reached a town in the Land of Wind, I led people into noble mansions to offer a grand sacrifice to the Three Gods. Didn't expect to alarm the Daimyō of the Land of Wind so quickly.
Fire, Sunagakure won't send you to hunt me down, will they? That'd be great. You wouldn't attack me, right?"
Pakura shook her head and said, "Pestilence, your work of sacrificing nobles has been too good. The reward for this S-rank mission is 5% of the war funding.
The Kazekage intends to complete this task personally, both to gain the Daimyō's favor and to win a large sum of money for the village.
After all, the Kazekage even took a large group of Suna-nin into the desert to pan for gold to raise funds.
Pestilence, perform another sacrifice in Tori Castle. Lure Kazekage Rasa there, and then..."
Even knowing she was doing this to save Sunagakure from a war with countless casualties, plotting to assassinate her own village's Kage still made Pakura's heart tremble.
At that moment, beneath the statue of the Three Worlds Vidyārāja, another blood silhouette appeared.
The Leader, 'Thunder', had arrived.
Seeing all three were present, Yōkō said, "This is the first time our Calamity Organization works together to complete a mission.
Assassinating Kazekage Rasa is the Calamity Organization's most important task at present. This mission will be executed by Fire providing intelligence, and Wind and Pestilence carrying it out.
At this time tomorrow, I hope to hear good news of your success."
The Leader seemed very busy, disappearing after giving the assignment.
In Tori Castle, Hidan opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of the noble mansion.
"The last time I passed through Tori Castle, I sacrificed four or five nobles. Our Three Gods Religion is perfect in every way, except it's too merciful!" Hidan brandished his three-bladed scythe and said:
"This time, let's sacrifice all the nobles to the great Three Gods!"
Behind Hidan stood Black Sail, and behind Black Sail were the 30 followers Hidan had recruited.
After night fell, lights in the noble mansion turned on one by one.
Unlike the minor nobles by remote oasis, as the Provincial Governor of this large city, Tori Castle, he had electricity installed in his mansion early on.
While ninja Ninjutsu was certainly powerful, the electrical circuits invented by the Land of Lightning were also miraculous.
On a ten-meter-long dining table, dozens of dishes were laid out. The lighting made it bright as day, the sauces on the dishes glistening.
A noble wouldn't serve himself. Next to each dish stood a servant.
The noble, so obese he couldn't stand up, pointed to the 19th plate.
A servant hurried forward, placing a small portion of the dish onto a small plate, then brought the plate to the noble's side.
Eating only one bite per dish, even if a ninja poisoned it, the dose would be small. This was a self-protection method for nobles.
The Provincial Governor occasionally lost focus.
The border area had been unstable lately, with more and more Suna-nin appearing.
More ninja meant chaos and casualties were highly likely.
The Provincial Governor looked at the samurai squads stationed around the dining hall, wondering if they could protect him.
A servant used chopsticks to place a piece of fish into the Provincial Governor's mouth.
The Governor paused. This servant was a novice; why did the chopsticks go so deep into his mouth?
The next moment, the noble felt a sharp pain!
The chopsticks pierced his delicate inner cheek.
Then!
This disgusting, perverted servant actually pulled out the chopsticks and licked them.
On the chopsticks were bits of fish, his blood, and saliva.
The Provincial Governor shrieked, "Kill him! Kill this servant!"
A samurai quickly stepped forward, cutting down the servant with one slash to the back, killing him.
Other samurai came forward to drag the servant's body away.
After the commotion settled, the Provincial Governor felt annoyed and said to the samurai captain, "The remaining dishes are yours, samurai."
The samurai were worth currying favor with; they were responsible for his safety.
Leaving the banquet hall and returning to the inner courtyard, the Provincial Governor saw his son had a bruise on his forehead.
The steward had already executed the servant who failed to take good care of the young master.
A while later, he saw his wife had a blood scab on her ear—a maid had drawn blood while putting on an earring.
The Provincial Governor felt a wave of irritation, not understanding what was happening.
Late at night, when the steward reported to him, he learned that the steward had executed many servants tonight.
The servants today didn't know what was wrong, making mistakes one after another.
Fortunately, the samurai all obeyed the Provincial Governor. The servants were executed, and that was that.
Ordinary people without chakra had no power to resist before the samurai.
Of course, samurai didn't have much power to resist before ninja either.
The Provincial Governor had the steward bring four young women to attend to his bath.
Lying in the bathtub, the Provincial Governor felt the warmth of the bathwater.
After a long while, the Governor mused that tonight's bathwater was exceptionally warm.
Not just warm, but also red.
The Provincial Governor jolted awake. There was a hole in his chest!
Blood was gushing out from the hole?
"Help! He... help!"
Throughout the Provincial Governor's mansion, accidents, disturbances, and inexplicable deaths were happening everywhere!
